The Plenary of the City Council of Onda, held this morning electronically, has unanimously approved of all political groups the provisional authorization of the constitution of the Management and Modernization Entity (EGM) in the Polygon Entre Ríos (SUR-13). It is the first industrial area in the entire province of Castellón, and the fourth in the Valencian Community, which is constituted as an association, under the protection of the Industrial Areas Law approved by the Generalitat Valenciana, to modernize the polygon and open the doors to aid plans and business competitiveness.

The municipal government, together with the Gaindustriales company, has promoted this process in which it has integrated the 37 owners of the plots of this industrial area of 2,5 million m² and in which large companies in the logistics and ceramic sector are located. In a phased manner, the City Council will continue working on the modernization of the rest of the industrial areas to also obtain this accreditation that guarantees quality and better services.

Among the objectives pursued by the MME are to provide the necessary infrastructures and services for the efficient and economic, social and environmental development of activities; promote public-private collaboration; promote economic and administrative incentives, as well as joint services; and draw up a map that constitutes a true census of all industrial land. For its part, the City Council undertakes to carry out adequate conservation, maintenance, surveillance, cleaning and provision of basic services that entail an improvement and modernization of the industrial area, in addition to continuing to work, through the platform Onda Logistic, for providing the industrial area with a technological infrastructure that makes it one of the most intelligent and competitive in the country.

"We want to be useful to our companies to help them grow, generate more business and jobs that result in a better quality of life for citizens," said the mayor, Carmina Ballester, who added that "in a globalized world where the competence doesn't understand about borders, it is essential to row all together for the industrial progress of the land we share. With their potential and our resources, together we can go as far as we set out ”.
